Prototheca Infections and Ecology from a One Health Perspective

Balazs Libisch et al.

Summary: Prototheca microalgae, recognized as pathogens in both humans and animals, have gained increasing interest in human and veterinary medicine. They have become an important cause of bovine mastitis and pose challenges to dairy farm management. Effective treatment is currently lacking, highlighting the importance of prevention.

Human Disseminated Protothecosis: The Skin is the Window?

Xue Wang et al.

Summary: Human disseminated protothecosis is a rare infection caused by Prototheca, a type of algae. Due to lack of specific clinical features, it is often underestimated and misdiagnosed. This review summarizes the etiological, epidemiological, and clinical aspects of the infection, focusing on the potential pathogenicity and clinical differences between different species of Prototheca. The skin is not only the main site of invasion, but also the most affected organ.

Occurrence of Prototheca Microalgae in Aquatic Ecosystems with a Description of Three New Species, Prototheca fontanea, Prototheca lentecrescens, and Prototheca vistulensis

Tomasz Jagielski et al.

Summary: The study investigates the occurrence of very rare and poorly studied microalgae of the genus Prototheca, potentially pathogenic to humans and animals, in different water environments. Given the potential hazard to human and animal health from exposure to water-inhabiting protothecae, the prevalence of the algae in aquatic habitats deserves an insightful examination.

Molecular characterization of Prototheca in 11 symptomatic dogs

Christian Falcaro et al.

Summary: Protothecosis is a rare disease caused by algae of the genus Prototheca, with diagnosis established through cytologic or histologic preparations and species identification requiring molecular investigations. Prototheca identifications were found to be consistent with the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, and low carriage rates in healthy dogs may be more related to host predisposing factors.

Summary: This study represents the first molecular characterization of Prototheca isolates from human stool in rural Thailand. Results showed the various life stages and major cellular characteristics of Prototheca, provided an optimized DNA extraction methodology, and identified multiple clades within the Prototheca genus through phylogenetic analysis.

Cutaneous Protothecosis with Meningitis Due to Prototheca wickerhamii in an Immunocompetent Teenager: Case Report and Literature Review

Yanfei Lu et al.

Summary: Human protothecosis is a rare infection caused by Prototheca spp., usually presenting as localized infection and rarely occurring systemically in immunocompromised patients. This report describes a case of cutaneous protothecosis and meningitis caused by Prototheca wickerhamii in an immunocompetent teenager who had full-body tattoos at the time of infection, which is the first report isolating P. wickerhamii from both skin tissue and cerebrospinal fluid. The data from this report will contribute to a better understanding of this pathogen and optimal treatment strategies.

Prototheca-ID: a web-based application for molecular identification of Prototheca species

Mikolaj Dziurzynski et al.

Summary: Prototheca is a genus of unicellular, achlorophyllous, yeast-like algae widely distributed in the environment, known to infect vertebrates including humans. Protothecosis can be clinically challenging and treatment-resistant, requiring accurate identification through DNA sequencing. Current limitations in sequence databases make Prototheca identification difficult and inconclusive, with a lack of bioinformatic tools for data processing and analysis. The introduction of Prototheca-ID aims to address these challenges by providing a user-friendly, web-based application for fast and reliable speciation of Prototheca isolates.
